Moyu 4*4 WeiSu 魔域威速

Afaik the chipping problem was just a faulty batch and wont happen again.

I finally cleaned my WeiSu and tensioned it. I ended up clearing the ring from any lube as even a tiny amount of 20wt shock oil was too much and made it sluggish. I lubed the pieces with a fairly small amount of 30k diff oil mixed with 20wt shock oil and now it's very fast. Pretty much just as fast as a shengshou minus the lock ups you get on an unmodded shengshou. This still does not beat my shengshou as the Weisu can and will pop at the tensions I have it. I will probably have to tighten the tensions which is a shame because now this cube is just awesome, slightly better than a very well modded SS v5. Maybe with more breaking in I can get this to match my Shengshou in both performance and pop resistance.

But yeah, definitely do not lubricate the rings and center pieces as a whole at all.
 
Had mine for a couple days now. I really like it. It tends to pop a bit, but other than that, it's fine. I broke both of my PBs with it my second day using it. My single dropped from 35 to 32.

I put regular cut stickers from thecubicle.us on it and they look great. Florian mod stickers would probably leave a little hole at the gaps.

This. Really the cubicle will come out with fitted ones that will be perfect, so you won't need to worry. Florian stickers wouldn't look as good basically because the WeiSu is not nearly as rounded.

Okay. The only reason I'm asking is because I have a spare set of Florian cut stickers.
 
I've been using mine for a little while now, but I'm still not liking the speed. Any suggestions for how to get this thing to move faster, maybe more comparable to a ShengShou?

I've currently got mine lubed with Traxxas 30k.

It seems to be better to first clean out the old lube, do a 100 solves, then relube it. The lubricant might slow down the breaking-in process. Have you tensioned it?
 
This is the best 4x4 i have ever touched. even out of the box it is amazing, can completely own my crappy shengshou. after about 100 solves it is simply godly. I have only had 1 internal piece pop and it is quite easy to fix. this thing is a beast

I wonder what's causing the seemingly huge difference between one cuber thinking it's awesome and the best and godly (and pops aren't too bad) and the other thinking it's too slow and pops too much.

Yeah I've been thinking the same. Maybe the factory setups are inconsistent. I just can't imagine anybody would call my Weisu godly.

On friday evening (before comp) I practiced with a quite new Moyu 4x4 for an hour and basically broke all my PBs. On Sunday I used the Moyu in the first round and had one great single, three not so good times, one pop. In the final I decided to use my freshly lubed Shengshou and had an awesome average wthout a problem.
I should mention that I was quite excited before 4x4 so that might have caused why I wasn't very good with the Weisu at that time.
 
I've had mine for about a week now.

I wasn't blown away straight out of the box. It was a bit slower than I imagined and it had minor lockup issues on the outer layer but after 300-350 solves it smoothed out and I now prefer it over my modded Shengshou 4X4's. I always liked the SS4 but found it to be a bit flimsy and the layers wouldn't stay aligned well for me which led to catches and lockups.

I was under the impression that this thing would be pop-city from all the reviews but it hasn't been a problem for me. It pops about the same as my Shengshou which isn't often. Tensioning is everything when it comes to pops. If you want it to pop less, you have to tighten the cube which sacrifices speed and changes the feel. It's just whether you can find the happy medium where it doesn't pop much and is still quick for you.

My overall opinion is that it's easily worth the price, especially when you think that only a couple years ago, people paid more for a sub par 4X4 such as a Dayan/MF8, Rubik's brand or way more for an X-cube. The Weisu is a steal for around $15 IMO.
